Held in March each year; third-party listings give 25–27 March 2027, but we could not confirm this on an organiser page. Check before booking.

A specialist fair for office, school and art supplies in Ningbo, one of China's main stationery manufacturing hubs. Much larger in stationery than the Hong Kong January fair, and close to many Zhejiang pen, paper and office-product factories.

Visiting Ningbo for this fair

Practical notes for buyers flying in: entry rules, how to reach the venue, where to stay, how to pay, and what to do with the days after the fair. Checked October 14, 2026.

Entry and visas: Ningbo Lishe airport is one of Zhejiang's six 240-hour visa-free transit ports, and the permitted area covers the whole province. The 30-day unilateral exemption applies to qualifying passports. Most overseas buyers arrive via Shanghai and take the high-speed train, about 2 hours from Hongqiao.
Getting to the venue: Ningbo International Conference & Exhibition Center is in Yinzhou district, about 30 minutes by taxi from Ningbo railway station or the airport. Metro Line 1 to Convention and Exhibition Center station stops at the venue.
Where to stay: Yinzhou district near the venue, or Tianyi Square downtown for more choice. Ningbo fair weeks rarely sell out.
Paying in Ningbo: Alipay and WeChat Pay with a foreign card. Suppliers here export heavily and quote FOB Ningbo as standard.
After the fair: Ningbo is surrounded by product clusters: Cixi small appliances and Yuyao plastics and moulds within an hour, Taizhou moulds and plastic housewares 1.5 hours, Yiwu 2 hours. Ningbo-Zhoushan is the world's busiest port by cargo tonnage, so container loading checks and freight forwarders are close by.
